I say simple, no frills, frosty beverage holders, and an inner-cooled turbo-diesel.

I purchased my Toyota 4wd standard cab pickup new in 1993. The only option, I opted for was AC.
I installed Bilstein shock. shortly after purchase. Has 200k+ miles, many over the back roads of Baja, and Arizona. Knock on wood, it hasn't left
me setting on the side of the road, and other than having to replace the front wheel berings several times, (manual hubs), and standard maintence,
brakes etc., No major problems. By far the best vehicle I have ever owned, except for perhaps my 1957 Ferguson F-40, tractor, it is truly amazing,
and easy to work on.
The options are nice, but its one more thing to go wrong.

Price for six was ~$1400 for six tires.
Smooth riding

You need the handling on the dirt, mud, and water and the rest comes with good handling.
